Description:
When teaching the Holocaust, film can be one of the most compelling, yet complicated educational tools available for a talented educator. Yet with so many documentary and feature films available on the topic, how are teachers supposed to decide what will work best for their students? In this series, co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism and the Museum of Jewish Heritage, we will review appropriate criteria for choosing films to teach about the Holocaust, and suggest documentary and feature films that are appropriate and effective pedagogical tools.
April 21, 2025 (via Zoom 4:30 – 6:00pm), Teaching the Holocaust with Documentaries, Prof. Marcia Rock and Karen A. Frenkel.

Description:
The US Congress established Days of Remembrance as the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust. The Museum leads the national ceremony in the US Capitol and encourages observances throughout the country. At this dangerous time of surging antisemitism, it is more important than ever that we gather to remember the victims and honor the survivors.
Together with Holocaust survivors, we remember their loved ones—and the millions of other victims, many of whom have no one to honor their memory. Join us for this one-hour livestream, which will also feature remarks, a performance by the US Army Band, and a tribute to liberating divisions and the role American liberators played in witnessing Nazi crimes 80 years ago.
After the live broadcast, the recording will be available to watch on demand on the Museum's YouTube page.

Description:
When the documentary and street photographer Jill Freedman went to Poland in April 1993, on the occasion of the 50thanniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, she wrote that she made the journey as a pilgrim “to mourn the dead, to honor them,” along with the “survivors, their children, old soldiers and witnesses.” She returned to the sites of destruction again the next year after receiving a fellowship from the Alicia Patterson Foundation (APF), which supports the work of photojournalists.
Susan Chevlowe, PhD, will discuss the series of photographs that resulted from these two trips, including to additional sites in Hungary and the Czechia, and the book that Freedman had planned but that was left unrealized at the time of her death. Her presentation will be followed by a conversation with family member Wendy Wernick.
Susan Chevlowe is Chief Curator and Museum Director of Derfner Judaica Museum + The Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale, in the Bronx where she has organized solo shows featuring the work of Micaela Amato, Leonard Freed, Jill Freedman, Jonathan Hammer, Robert Katz, Richard McBee, Jill Nathanson, Archie Rand, and many others, as well as group exhibitions. She is a former adjunct assistant professor in the Program in Jewish Art and Visual Culture at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where she also served as co-chair of the Visual Arts Committee of the Arts Advisory Board. Prior to coming to the Derfner, Dr. Chevlowe was an associate curator at the Jewish Museum, New York. Dr. Chevlowe received her Ph.D. in art history from the Graduate Center, CUNY. She is a member of the Jewish Art Salon advisory board and lectures and writes about Jewish art and visual culture.
Wendy Wernick is Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Healthcare certified. She completed Bachelors in Health Service Administration and is a registered wound ostomy continence nurse working clinical solution specialist for northeast at convaTEc. Wendy Wernick is also a distant relative of Jill Freedman and is, with her sisters Susan Hecht and Nancy Sklar, the custodian of the Jill Freedman Family Estate.
